The numbers now confirm the forecasts: Puglia is entering the peak and the data continues to show it. And the Region is preparing to call in retired doctors to help out on the ward. After the 590 cases yesterday and the 485 the day before, the positive counter continues to rise together, unfortunately with the number of deaths registered by 10 victims. The latest bulletin from the Region speaks of 631 out of a total of 5339 tests, causing the percentage of infections / tampons to rise to 12% until a few days ago, witnessing a threshold equal to half.
Just under half of the new cases, 284, are in the province of Bari; another 32 in the province of Brindisi, 101 in the province of BAT, 123 in the province of Foggia, 36 in the province of Lecce, 60 in the province of Taranto, 6 attributed to residents outside the region (reclassified and attributed 11 cases of unknown residence). Numbers that bring to 7,398 the number of positives currently.
Of the 10 deaths registered, 6 in the province of Bari, 1 in the province of Brindisi, 2 in Foggia, 1 in the province of Taranto: the number of victims amounts to 656.
At the end of the day, the figures would have doubled compared to March and April did not take long: it was enough to follow the curve of this last week to clearly understand that they were entering the tunnel. A situation that could hardly be addressed with ordinary instruments, including curfews, as stated by President Michele Emiliano himself who, during an interview with Rai 3, clearly hinted at how it does not exclude a total closure given the situation in which our hospitals are located.
The Councilor for Health, Pierluigi Lopalco, argues that the problem is not “for now” intensive care, but rather finding the necessary beds for those infected who need health care and who are not among the asymptomatic (Today news of another 100 beds made available to the Covid Network by the Mater Dei clinic in Bari). The people currently hospitalized are 575, 44 more than yesterday when 479 were registered in hospital wards and 52 in intensive care.
Concern added to tracking: if the trend continues so abruptly, there will be no more staff to attend to epidemiological investigations. Today is the news of another 100 beds made available to the Covid Network by the Mater Dei clinic in Bari.
Lopalco specifies: «The daily number of infections in slight and continuous increase is accompanied as a consequence of pressure on the Regional Health Service, both on the territorial services and on the hospital system. Everyone’s effort to stop the growth of infections is important. In the coming weeks we must reduce our social contacts to the minimum necessary.
Meanwhile, the Puglia region is about to call on retired doctors on a voluntary basis. An advisory will be published on Monday to compile a ranking that each ASL can draw from to deal with the coronavirus emergency. Depending on the specialties of the doctors who decide to return to the ward, places will be assigned in hospitals and wards. .
In addition, the Apulian healthcare companies will also be able to turn to unqualified young doctors who, as happened in March, will be able to stand next to the “no Covid” wards. ASL Bari has already published an advisory so that young doctors and other healthcare companies can take advantage of the ranking.
The number of those recovered, on the other hand, grows in slow motion and stands at 5,977, 51 cases more than yesterday.
The total of positive cases of Covid in Puglia is 14031, divided as follows: 5879 in the province of Bari; 1372 in the province of Bat;
1017 in the province of Brindisi; 3342 in the province of Foggia; 1048 in the province of Lecce; 1272 in the province of Taranto;
101 attributed to residents outside the region.
